A significant feature in the processes of shaping sounds and values in multipart music practices are the contradictions between individual and cultural perspectives. “[W]hat appear superficially as incompatibilities are seen on closer examination to be functions of different frames of reference” (Kluckhohn). In addition: “Because prevailing cultural value orientations represent ideals, aspects of culture that are incompatible with them are likely to generate tension and to elicit criticism and pressure to change” (Schwartz). In regard to music making, the “latent subversive potential” of music (Beaster-Jones) should also be considered in this context.
On the other hand, “value designates something different from being” (Dumont). Hence, the contributions in this volume employ epistemological approaches to elucidate particular ways of music making in an ontological context of multiple realities that are constantly interpreted and shaped anew during each performance act.

News, Res Musica23. January 2017
This eighth issue of the yearbook Res Musica is the second number dedicated to the domain of ethnomusicology (the first was the 2012 edition). This time the collection of articles develops the topics discussed at the First Seminar of the ICTM (International Council for Traditional Music) Study Group on Multipart Music, held on 19–20 Septem- ber 2014 at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, Tallinn. The theme of the Seminar was “Multipart Music: theoretical approaches on the terminology”.
It should be mentioned here that the form of this event was quite unusual – the number of participants was limited to eight in- vited specialists who, instead of giving standard conference papers, chaired the discussions on the related topics. This circumstance has shaped the conception of the present volume. Firstly, the clearly delimited theme of the Seminar has result- ed in the greater thematic homogeneity of the collection than usual. Secondly, the influence of the Seminar’s discussions is often apparent in the articles, leading to dialogic connections between the texts.
The editor of this yearbook is Žanna Pärtlas. Read on about its contents from Editor’s Preface.

Focusing on the ‘creators’ rather than on the ‘produced object’, the studies included in this volume explore the diversity of the roles, powers, symbolism, meanings and values given to the ‘polyphony of voices’ in secular and religious traditions based on extensive fieldwork experience. The contributors to this volume also consider the UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List in this context, as well as the role of local, national and international awards. By understanding ‘culture as a drug’, whose absorption is realized within interacting cells, culture appears as a cellular network and music as quite an efficient device for its functioning.
